The trailer wiring we offer like part # A40W5B, is designed to be used as a 5-wire harness, and works well with a trailer that has a surge coupler. The wires used in this harness are 16 gauge except the blue brake wire which is 18 gauge, and designed to be able to safely handle the current from a 12 volt system. The wires in this harness are not tinned.
From my research I found that tinned wire is normally used in industrial wiring and used when the operating temperature of the wire is... view full answer...
The wire in the Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, Brake Wire, item # 10-2-1, is stranded, and designed for automotive applications. The temperature rating on the coating is 221 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows for use of the wire for up to 40 amps at up to 25 feet.
This is the wire we use to wire the brake output wire and the 12 volt power wire when installing the Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit, item # ETBC7, and a brake controller on vehicles that do not have an existing 7-way connector... view full answer...
I found the answer page you are referring to where I said:
The brown/green and brown/yellow wires on your trailer are for the same running light circuit. You would need to run them both to the brown wire of the 4-way.
This particular trailer wiring setup had the brown wire (running light circuit) split off in to two wires for both sides of the trailer and they were marked yellow/brown for the left side and green/brown for the right side.
Sounds like your trailer is wired more traditionally... view full answer...
I called my contact about the Electric Winch Wiring Kit, part # BDW20207.
The wire is a 2-gauge stranded copper wire. Stranded wire is used because it is much more flexible than solid wire that size. view full answer...
The Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit for Demco Supplemental Braking Systems # DM66VR uses a 14 gauge wiring. The ground wiring should be 12 or 14 gauge.

You are correct. The wires for the light functions in Roadmaster Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7 are 16 gauge and the 12 volt power and ground wires are the larger 14 gauge. I have linked a video review of this product for you. view full answer...
I reached out to Optronics and they confirmed that the wire used in the 35 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness - Wishbone Style # A35W42B is 100% copper. This harness comes with 2 tail light wires split for simple wiring and has a 3 year warranty. view full answer...
The Curt 4-Pole Flat Vehicle Wiring Harness # C58345 is constructed with bonded 16-gauge wires and durable molded rubber insulation. This kit is specifically designed for vehicles that have a 2-wire taillight system. This means that power for the turn signal and brake light are shared by the same wire on your vehicle.
A No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket # 18140 can be used to allow you to fasten the wiring to your receiver. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Curt about wiring harness # C56070. He said that there are 12 to 14 gauge wires used. The 12 volt and ground wires would be the larger 12 gauge.
Hardwire harness # 319-S7-08 uses 10 gauge for the ground and auxiliary power, 12-gauge for brakes and 14-volt circuits for the other 4 functions. But the difference between 10 and 12 gauge wire for this application is not going to be a problem so I would stick with the custom harness # C56070. view full answer...
The 5-Flat Trailer End 48 Harness, item # 20017, does have 6 wires. There are two for the running lights functions - one for each side. The wire harness has 16 gauge wire and comes with wire connectors for 16 gauge wire. view full answer...
The wire is likely just a version of automotive wire that is made more rigid so that it is easier to route it through tight spaces. Or it could be shielded wire or even cross-link wire. If you need some wire for electric brakes you can use # 10-1-1.
The connector sounds like it might be a quick splice connector such as # SWC501915-1 also known as a Scotch Lock which is the 3M name brand. view full answer...
I spoke with our contact at Hopkins and he confirmed that on the Active Tail Light Converter # 46255, the lead power wire is 14 gauge and the remaining wires are 18 gauge.
If you are looking for a bit of a higher gauge wire, you can use the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT. The kit includes two 12 gauge wires (black and white). The other three color wires in the kit are 18 gauge. view full answer...
The Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Harness - 20' Long # HM48240 uses 18 gauge wire for the 3 lighting functions and 16 gauge for the ground wire. This is standard size wire for a 4-way flat harness, but the ergonomic grip on the connector for the easy pull disconnection is what sets this harness apart from others. I recommend using the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 22-18 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Red - Qty 10 # DW05743-10 for your light connections. view full answer...
The Mighty Cord RV Power Cord # A10-5036EDBK lists the wire gauges as 6 gauge (3 wire) and 8 gauge (1 wire). The 6 gauge wire is used for the two power legs and negative, and is capable of handling 55 amps. The 8 gauge wire is used for the ground. view full answer...
The Wesbar 5-Pole Flat Connector W002290 (along with virtually every other wiring harness we sell) uses full copper wire. Unfortunately the Wesbar W002290 is no longer available. We now offer the Optronics # A40W5B which is a similar 5-flat harness that also uses full copper wire. view full answer...
The # CAM55194 features a standard 50-amp male (NEMA 14-50P) and 50-amp female (NEMA 14-50R) connectors. Rated for 125/250 volts/12500 watts. It's constructed with 100% copper, 6/3 + 8/1-gauge wires for superior conductivity. So it has three 6-gauge wires and one 8-gauge wire running through it. The 8-gauge wire will be your ground wire. view full answer...
The Lippert Components Kwikee Motor and Screws for New IMGL Step # LC379147 does not come with wiring. It only comes with the 3 mounting screws pictured. The wiring of the current assembly will attach to this motor instead of vice versa. view full answer...
